Fukuoka is the largest city in Japan's Southern Island of Kyushu. If you're looking to explore a bit of Japan's country side, while still being close to a major city, this is THE place to visit. Fukuoka is close to many different cities and prefectures, but in this trip I decided to just check out Yanagawa, Beppu, and Yufuin.

Here is my itinerary from my Fukuoka trip in October as well as my recommendations for food, sights, and day trip ideas.
